The Capital of Bohemia

\ general view of Prague, writes a
correspondent, gives an impression de-
cidedly Oriental. Some of its church
towers seem like the mineretS of mosque.
Others have a byzantine look. In no
other city of Europe are massive build
ings large enough to be called palaces
more numerous. One of the old palaces
near the station where you arrive in
coming from Dresden Las been trans
formed into powder magazine. The
old palace of the Kings of Bohemia
close by is now barrack. In the old
portions of the city, on the right bank,
there is still some of the strong aspect
of the Hradschin, but commerce is
gradually softening it. New streets are
being made that are filled with hand
some shops. Broader thorOughfares are
being set with trees, and there are some
well-kept parks and public gardens
The public buildings, aside from the
palaces, are not remarkable for beauty,
though there are exceptions. The City
Hall, which in the German-speahing
countries of Europe is called the Rat
house tRathaus) is curious architectu-
rally, and remarkable for its astronomi-
cal clock, which exeites the attention of
every tourist. 1t is n full curriculum in
the study of the service of astronomy.
Near by is church which contains the
tomb of Tycho Brahe, the Danish
astronomer, who came here at the invi-
tation of the Emperor Rudolph II.
Prague, like other European capitals,
has its Academy of Fine Arts, and Is
well provided with charitable institu-
tions. Its public monuments in the
way Of fountains and statue, though not
as numerous, are in sufficient number
to shame the poverty in works of art in
the metropolis of America.

History OG Carpets.

In 1875 English Administers were iiTS,
made. But it was not until 1749 that 4
loom was constructed which would pro-
duce Brussels carpet; and just here is
an exceedingly interesting anecdOte,
which has been handed down fir IN
father to son as an inviolable truth.
During 1870 and 1875 John Broom trav-
eled through Tournay and Brussels,
studying the stitch which was then
known as the Brussels stitch. In BruS-
sells particularly weavers were at that
time making carpet named after the
town-the Brussels carpet. Broom
studied with much earnestness the mys-
terry of the manufacture, and finally
made the acquaintance in Tournay of a
weaver understanding the secret. He
and his weaver Immediately repaired to
England, and near Mount Skipet, Kid
derminster, they put up the first Brus-
sells loom in 1749. They operated in
absolute secrecy, but in time their mo-
dus operandi was exposed. Broom and
his Belgian workman labored night and
day, and, it being well known where
their operations were conducted, some
enterprising fellow climbed to the win
dow, and night after night from his
perilous perch outside he studied the
operations of the mechanism within
until he was able to carry in his mind a
model of the Brussels loom.

THE LAKE JEWELLERS.
AnphIbious Life which Some Indians
of Mexico Lead---Peculiar For
nation OF the Mexican Lakes

Looking towards the lakes one day l
caught sight of the spires of a small
town on the margin of the water. In
quiring of a Mexican friend, he said:-
That is Chalco, lying at the head of
lake navigation, once a very notable
place. The town is now dead, or dying,
killed by the railroads. Once it was the
point of shipment of the products of the
terra caliente, and great quantities of
rum, sugar, grain, and tropical fruits
were transported thence to Mexico,
twenty-five miles distant, in flat-bot-
toned boats, propelled by the Indians
with long poles. There are some re-
minders of the traffic yet, but for
eigner would probably find mora inter-
est in the Indians, who live in kind of
house made of reeds, and almost floating
OIL the water" My friend could not
have suggested an excursion more apro-
lpos to the mood of person deeply
interested in the indigenous races and
their customs. In two hours time
had descended from my crows nest on
the hill 10 the lake and was negotiating
with the head man of the town for a
canoe and a couple of stout Indians to

Remarkable Troat.

DR.. John d. Quackenbos, the eminent
ichthyolOgist, has remarkable speci-
men of trout taken from Sunapee Lake
y. II. The fish measures % inches in
length, and when caught weighed seven
pounds. The species of the fish is in
dispute, but according to DR.. Bean, the
ichthyologist of the United States Fish
Commission, who has examined several
specimens of the kind, 1t is identical
with the common blue back of Maine.
Several years a lot of blue backs were
transplanted from the Rangely Lake
and other waters in Maine 10 Sunapee
Lake, and the remarkable point of diff
ference now is that by tranSplanting
they have grown fourteen times larger
than if they had remained in their na-
tive brooks. The candal fin of the Suna-
pee trout, however, is not bifurcated
and fOrked like those of the Oquash
type, and Col. E. B. Hodge, Fish Com
missioner of New Hampshire, holds that
the two types are disSimilar In sup
port of his claim Col. Hodge has brought
forward some of the Oldest inhabitants
who declare they have caught fish like
the specimen now on exhibition years
before the blue backs were transplanted.

Paper Making in China.

Eighteen hundred years ago the Chi.
nese made paper from fibrous matter
reduced to pulp. Now each province
makes its own peculiar variety. The
celebrated Chinese rice paper, that SO
resembles woollen and silk fabrics, and
on which are painted quaint birds and
flowers, is manufactured from CON-
pressed pith, which is cut spirally by a
keen knife into thin slices six inches
wide and twice as long. Funeral papers,
or paper limitations of earthly things
which they desire to bestow on departed
friends, are burned over their graves.
They use paper window frames, paper
sliding doors and paper visiting cards a
yard long. 1t is related that when a
distinguished representative of the Brit
ish government visited Pekin several
servants brough, him huge roll, which,
when spread out OH the floor proved to
be the visiting card of the emperor.

The trade in commercial fertilizers has

culturists throughout the CCuntry hail
with joy the discovery Of every new de-

farmers, however, fully appreciate the
fact that the composition of manure will
